1) C) weak and gaunt
Buck is described as have muscles which "had wasted away" and it goes on to say that "each rib and every bone...were outlined cleanly through the loose hide..." This description shows that he is weak and gaunt.
2) hearing
Sensory details appeal to the senses. In this excerpt, there are many sounds, such as bursting, throbbing, soft-sighing, snapping, and trickle. These all appeal to the sense of hearing.
3) B) His muscles had wasted away to knotty strings, and the flesh pads had disappeared, so that each rib and every bone in his frame were outlined cleanly through the loose hide...
This is the best answer. Thin is another word for gaunt. The reasons this excerpt is the answer is the same as for number one.
4) A) how furious and upset Thornton is
We can see Thornton's anger when it says "suddenly...John Thornton sprang upon the man". In this line he is being described as verbally attacking the man with the club. He does so because he is furious. His feelings about the situation show when his voice is described as "choking". This choice of words shows that Thornton cares about his son and is upset when he speaks.
To get to my house, you will need to follow my directions; you should then get there without any trouble. This is the correctly puncuated sentence.
Answer: B) To get to my house, you will need to follow my directions; you should then get there without any trouble.

fix your eyes on the unexpected
Well, there could be many reasons. First off, there are many different historical and cultural differences between Shakespeare's time and modern times that a modern student doesn't pick up on, doesn't understand.
Second, you simply have to take into account the fact that, with modern technology, students' attention spans have gotten so bad that simply reading Shakespeare plays is "too boring" for them.
Modern students want quick answers, a bubble they can circle on a multiple choice test type of answer. Interpreting Shakespearean plays requires thought and critical thinking, things that, I'm sorry, but no students seem to use nowadays.
Also, there is the small fact that, especially amongst teenage males, things like plays and reading Shakespeare are labeled as feminine or "gay".

it depends on where you send that mail
Answer:
Remove: "She voices some concerns about leaving Perkins."
Explanation: Reading through the text, I mentally removed each sentence. Only "She voices some concerns about leaving Perkins." makes the summary better when it rid of. The others do not make much sense removed. (Hope this helps)
